IC-Friendly Spinach Dip Recipe (No Mayo)


Ingredients:

8 ounces frozen spinach, defrosted and drained
4 ounces softened cream cheese
2 cups plain Greek yogurt (if tolerated)
1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt (if tolerated)
1 teaspoon onion powder (use with caution, as onions can be a trigger for some)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
8-ounce can drained and diced water chestnuts


Directions:

1. Defrost and drain the spinach, squeezing out excess liquid (I place the spinach in the cheesecloth or
towel, gather the edges, and twist tightly to squeeze out the water). Chop if desired.

2. Beat cream cheese until smooth, then mix in Greek yogurt, salt, onion and garlic powder (if using), and parsley.

3. Stir in the chopped spinach and water chestnuts.

4. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

5. Serve with IC-friendly accompaniments like crackers, bread, or vegetables.
